Absolutely, and I appreciate what you just said, Mr. Chair. Again, I think it's important for us, as we're picking up this thread of this debate, to provide a little context on the path that got us here. That's what I'm trying to do here.
All the investments that I just outlined, that this Liberal government was able to deliver in the last four years, means that we are now, according to Bloomberg, the number one destination and jurisdiction. Canada is number one in the world in the electric vehicle supply chain. It's remarkable what we've been able to accomplish here in the last four years.
We're also number one in foreign direct investment per capita. Think about that for a second: Canada is number one in foreign direct investment per capita, which means we've completely outpaced, beat out, countries like China and the United States in attracting foreign direct investment. What we're seeing is that global companies are showing tremendous confidence in Canada and investing their capital in this country because they see the power of the Canadian workforce, the skills, the tremendous resources we have here and the investments we're making in clean energy and in fighting climate change, and they want to be here and to be part of the action.
Stellantis and LG, a Korean company; Volkswagen, a German company; Northvolt, a Swedish company; Honda, a Japanese company, are locating, putting billions of dollars here. Think about that for a second and about how that challenges the misinformation and narrative that the Conservatives are desperately trying to put out, pump out and hold up there. There are companies from all around the world that want to locate and invest here because they see their future here in Canada too, and they want to build it with us, which is remarkable.
When you drive by the battery plant in Windsor, it's incredible. I highly encourage all the members of the committee to take a drive, to visit. I would love to show them. It's incredible. It is the size of 150 hockey rinks, what's being built there. As you drive by, you literally see hundreds upon hundreds of cars, pickup trucks with Ontario licence plates and local workers building the battery plant as we speak. That's where we're at, and it's important to note....
Mr. Perkins wants us to listen to him. He's again trying to bring forward this motion, which is almost, again, essentially the same motion that we saw last week.
